BBQ and Kumzits

Talmidim enjoyed a BBQ by a local Jew's waterfront house. They went swimming, watched sunset and enjoyed the tasty food around a campfire. Like all Chasidishe gatherings, it quickly turned to a Kumzits of Niggunim, stories of Tzaddikim, and all-time favorite camp songs were sung (the little bird, it happened Yom Kipper...).

Yud Beis Tamuz Farbreingen

Finishing off their exciting opening week in Hawaii, the Bochurim created another historic first on this island: the first-ever Yud Beis Tammuz Farbrengen this tropical island has ever seen! After watching the Rebbe Farbreng on JEM’s new Farbrengen video, the bochurim were privileged to hear Rabbi Itchel Krasnjansky, the head Shliach of Hawaii (who flew in from the island of Oahu to lead the bochurim in a moving farbrengen), exciting the Bocurim by offering $180 cash for those that finish Maseches Meilah Bal Peh, in addition sharing chassidishe mayses of an earlier era.

YKH visits Waipio Valley

The Bochurim of Yeshivas Kayitz Hawaii kicked off the summer with a hike through the scenic Waipio Valley. Trekking along a beaten path only used by locals, the Bochurim waded through shoulder deep rivers and climbed daunting boulders on their way to stunning waterfalls and the world-famous Black Sand Beach. The trip culminated in a hike up world's steepest road, a half mile long incline, and davening Mincha to the backdrop of a beautiful sunset. Look at the photos below to see the Bochurim having a blast.
